I did alright this past month! Not the best, all things considered, but I did get a lot of good books in. I also didn’t manage to shake the need for spooky books – so just heads up. I was clearly looking for horror that could be beaten when faced with what felt like unbeatable horror in real life. From election to health issues… it was a rough month. To the book roundup!
I read 6 fiction YA Novels, 1 adult non-fiction, 12 adult titles.
Of those 3 were romance, 2 were general YA history/contemporaries, 6 were short stories of varying length/collections and they were all horror/fantasy, 1 was a middle grade magical realism, 1 was an adult contemporary, 1 biology nonfiction, and the last 5 were magical realism/fantasy full length novels.
As usual if I have reviews of these I’ll link them below in the titles!
